Deutsche Bank was assessed a penalty of 50,000 euros (U.S. $54,000) by Germany’s financial supervisory authority for its alleged miscommunication of a 2023 information technology security incident.
BaFin announced the fine in a press release Monday, in which it said the bank “communicated incorrect information regarding a major customer-relevant IT security incident occurring in the provision of payment services.” Deutsche Bank was also faulted for its delayed reporting to the regulator. No further specifics were included in the release.
A bank spokesperson said in an emailed statement the incident occurred in June 2023 and the improper report was “rectified within a very short time.” The bank updated its processes in an effort to avoid any recurring issues.
